hi developers, i have a htc one dual sim 802w (m7_cdug) running lollipop. my mom had the same phone as mine so i took a lollipop backup, renamed it, and then restored it to my phone. the problem was that when it was done, i went to my sd card and copied an apk file to my internal storage but it fails saying ''something went wrong while copying google now launcher.apk''. it wasnt only that file that had the problem. i tried doing it by my laptop and i get the message after it fails that my device has been disconnected or is corrupt. well, my device is connected so the only option is that its corrupt. what do i do? pls help (asap). i cant even play my favorite game which is minecraft pe!
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. If the sd card fails on your device and pc, did you use a stand alone sc card reader on the pc?, then your sd card is corrupt. The only fix is to reformat the card. You'll of course lose everything on it during the format

I have a T-Mobile G2 with stock 8GB microsd card. I was recording a video about 45 secs into it and all of a sudden the phone froze, I am not sure if it got full caz just before taking the video I checked and there was ~1.8GB free space. After a while an message came up saying "Please insert a SD card" (something along those line), so I figured my card must be full.
So I decided to go try and delete some file on it, only to find out all my apps installed on SD card was now unavailable, this is when I started to worry. I rebooted the phone, no luck. I shut it down and removed and replaced the SD card, no luck.
Plugged it into a Windows PC (Win XP 32 bit), it would see it in My Computers for few seconds and would disappear, even if I try to access it, it was just disappear.
I have some pictures and videos that I had taken on vacation which I really need, any ideas?
Currently as a temp solution I have a 4GB Microsd card in it and everything is fine (obviously, apps still not available), but I need the data from my original 8GB as this is my main concern, please help.
Btw, I have tried using recovery software such as Recuva and testdisk but since windows won't even see the drive I cannot use such software.
Thanks a ton.
if the sd not detected in phone or pc, maybe the sd card already dead.
anyone please?
Thanks
Im not sure what else can be said. If you computer and phone cant see the card, then it's probably dead. All you can at this point is attempt to do a quick format of the card and try to use the recovery software on it to see if you can restore the file structure

Yeh that is my last resort, but the problem is I cannot do anything as the drive disappears 2-3 seconds after windows detects it and when I try to do anything to that drive it just freezes for a while and closes itself.
any ideas??
if you have a digital camera insert the micro-sd via adapter make sure though to unmount the micro-sd via CWM for example, you should now be able to format the micro-sd card over the menu of your camera. if this doesn't work there's still hope you can try to format it on a linux based system but for now try to format it on your cam
Regular recovery methods won't work too good on an sd card, they were meant for spinning drives. Flash memory either works or it doesn't usually. Try cleaning the contacts and using different card reader/adapter combos. Try a linux live cd etc. If it's dead or corrupted, your kinda stuck. Even a format worked I wouldn't trust it again.
i successfully rooted my huawei g510-200 by following instruction here in xda and was proud considering my limited knowledge with computers but recently,as the high spirit was still in me, i made a mistake of backing up my apps using tb and saving them into the internal storage.. i decided to cut and paste the files in sd card and there the problem started.. first, when i tried to use my camera, a notification appeared saying sd card cannot be read and the image will be saved in the internal storage..second, when i took out my sd card and try to read it in my pc, pc said reformatting is needed and the scary part, when i put back my sd card into my phone, the screen flickered and all apps notify that they are unable to load. i restarted my phone and everything was back to normal but still, sd card is unreadable. please help. what should i do to revive my sd card? thanks in advance.

I recently updated my external SD card.
Transfered all the information from the old one to the new one, VIA Windows PC.
Seems like all went fine until I went to one program I thought was installed PPSSPP
Seeing as it wasnt showing up now I tried re-installing it.
Now with the play store it says after downloading that the app
Could not be installed on USB storage or SD card.
Looking at troubleshooting here is what I did so far.
I did look for the file smdl2tmp1 and did not find it anywhere.
Unmounted the SD and rebooted , install of PPSSPP and says same error.
Removed SD and booted , still same error on install.
Dirty Flash Rom.
loaded Rom Toolbox lite and changed app2sd location.
Same error on everything I tried.
The only thing I can come up with is that there is a file that is causing problems that I cannot find where it is.
Any suggestions without doing a full flash and reinstall?
HTC EVO 4g LTE
Carbon Rom 4.4.1
Any thing to help is greatly appreciated
Update tried downloading and installing another app and getting same error , on something that I never installed before.
Update 2. Wiped SD internal and external , did not work. Same error

are you sure the SD card is not fake? for years now, ebay fradulent sellers peddle 4gb cards with a 32gb filesystem. After going over 4gb, the files are just copied to dev/null, but their names are still present in the allocation table
so plug your card to a computer and check it with any flashdrive utility
If you are unable to write in the external sdcard using a file manager too then - back up external card's data, connect to windows pc in usb mass storage mode and format it in fat32 format.
It should fix the issue.

This happened with the origional 32 GB card, then I did put a FAT32 64 GB card in the phone. Moved data over to new card.
It reads in windows fine. and both are fat 32.
Also tried installing without card installed and gave same error.
Titanium backup files will not reload, and even some amazon ones wont, but updates do most of the time.
Another thing I noticed is that my internal is GB for apps, that has about 300 MB left. I think this may have something to do with it so moved data over to SD.
Just tested about 3 restarts and finally went with a paid app, Tried changing default install to auto , internal and SD. didtn really make a difference.

So i was downloading a movie "dr. Strange" from torrent yesterday and as soon as i clicked the download button.. my phone hanged and then crashed. I rebooted it, and storage ( sd card) was gone. I removed it and reinserted it. Still the phone was not considering it. I put this memory card in my other phone and it showed "damaged sd card, try reformatting" so i did, nothing helped. I connected my phone with my pc with memory card still in my phone, and my PC didn't showed any storage. So i tried it with card reader and then the PC showed my sd card as normal 2 gb availability from 14 gb total. I backed up all data in other drive. Now it kept showing that the storage is damaged , so i tried repairing it with windows error checking. It showed error with the file dr. Strange.mkv but couldn't repair it. I tried formatting the storage but it said "failed" .i did some research on Google and then tried chksdk /f with correct drive letter. It showed error with this file but couldn't repair it. I tried "disk part" as well. After which I selected the disk (sd card), cleaned it with "clean" and tried formatting. Still it showed 12 gb used fron 14 as always. I tried some third party data recovery softwares as well, nothing worked. Some of those softwares deletes the file at the time of booting and we have to select it first, but the thing is; they don't let us select the file from removable storage. What i am trying to say is, that i tried every possible way which should work from internet. Nothing worked. This is why i am posting this issue here, hoping someone might be able to help. Please it will be huuugggeee help for me. Thank you.
[My sd card is : Samsung evo 16gb class 10]
For chkdsk, what i got as error was
"The \path\filename.mkv entry contains a nonvalid link
The size of the path\file.mkv entry is not valid
45% completed.."
That's all i got, it never increased from 45%
And here i tried uploading a screenshot but it showed network error. I can give more details if you can help me out please

Greetings and welcome to assist. Unfortunately sometimes sd cards can just suddenly die, it has happened to me quite a few times and if it has died then all you can do is use a data recovery program

Hello,
I have a HTC A9 phone using Android 7.0. I replaced my SD Card with a larger one for more storage. I am trying to copy my music I downloaded over the years from the old SD Card onto my Windows 10 and 8 operating system. Both systems say the SD Card needs to be formated. The I receive an error "The file system cannot be recognized". I believe it might be a GPT file system, maybe I am wrong.
My question is, how can I access the SD Card and remove my music without losing it? Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Peter Costa
Hello. Try to reinstall driver in pc. Or try paste card inserted in mobile. If you have SD card encryption contra changes in other devices, please turn off it Pc doesnt see you old card because SD card may be encrypted (visible only in your phone).
You are correct that the card is encrypted from being previously used by my HTC A9. Unfortunately, my phone had to be reset and the SD Card was replaced with a larger one. The encryption was not decrypted or my files removed. Now when I take out the new card and insert my old card, the phone only gives the option to format it. I have over 3000 full CD's on that encrypted card I can't get access to.
My brother helped me fix my phone but he did not know what was on the card. I guess no good deed goes unpunished. Just looking for a possible solution.
Maybe some type of data rescue or forensics company. Anyone have any ideas or maybe I am not understanding something. Any more advice.
